There are neighborhoods people move to, and then there are neighborhoods people never want to leave. This quiet stretch of 9th Avenue is one of them. Wide tree-lined streets, longstanding neighbors, kids heading to school in the morning and riding bikes to the Congress Park pool on weekends. It's a special enclave, and locals know it.
What sets this 1925 brick and stucco home apart from the typical Congress Park bungalow is how it lives. Warm and inviting with coffered ceilings, a gas fireplace and an east-facing sunroom that every family finds a different use for. The kitchen is appointed with a Thermador range, oven and dishwasher and a Liebherr refrigerator and freezer, ample counter space and a butcher block prep station, opening naturally into the dining area in a way that just works. Four bedrooms, a finished basement and a walk-in laundry room with storage give everyone the space they need.
Out back, the professionally landscaped yard was made for Colorado evenings. Built-in seating, a water feature and uplighting create a private retreat you'll actually live in. A corner lot allows you to enjoy the full length of the yard on two sides- perfect for kids, entertaining and everything in between.
Congress Park is three blocks away with its newly renovated Olympic-sized pool, brand new playground, tennis courts and ball fields. Zoned for Teller Elementary, ranked in the top 5% of Colorado schools, this location puts Cherry Creek North, the restaurants along 12th Avenue, Trader Joe's and the Denver Botanic Gardens (summer concerts and all) right at your doorstep.
3040 E 9th Avenue is the kind of address that rarely becomes available.
